Chapter Summaries

Tang San challenged the God of Destruction to wager their Super Divine Artifacts over whether the God of Destruction had retrieved souls from the Underworld. The God Kings approved an investigation, and Tang San proposed borrowing the Balance of Judgment to conduct it.

• Tang San pressed the God of Destruction to wager on the Underworld souls, and the God of Destruction agreed to stake the Scepter of Destruction.
• Tang San wagered the Asura Sword, which he would surrender if the God of Destruction had not taken souls; otherwise, the God of Destruction would hand over his Scepter of Destruction.
• The God Kings voted to require the God of Destruction to cooperate with an investigation, with the God of Destruction, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan voting in favor and the Goddess of Life voting against.
• Tang San proposed that Ji Dong borrow the Balance of Judgment from the First Generation God of Evil for the investigation.

Ji Dong traveled to the Five Elements Continent to borrow the Balance of Judgment, despite worrying that awakening First Generation Evil would disrupt his reincarnation with First Generation Goodness. He found First Generation Evil in a bar and restored some of his God Realm memories, leaving the senior angry about the interruption.

• Tang San urged Ji Dong to ask First Generation Evil for the Balance of Judgment, and the God of Destruction supported the request.

• Ji Dong found First Generation Evil drinking at Lie Yan Bar in Li Huo City and tapped his forehead to awaken him.
• First Generation Evil recovered some of his God Realm memories, recognized Ji Dong, and accused him of disrupting his reincarnation experience.
• Ji Dong awkwardly defended his actions by saying he wanted First Generation Evil and First Generation Goodness to experience more of love.

Ji Dong borrowed the Balance of Judgment from the First Generation God of Evil and used it to test the God of Destruction’s denial of fishing souls from the Underworld. The balance showed the God of Destruction was telling the truth, leaving Tang San to surrender the Asura Sword and lose the wager.

• Ji Dong explained the dispute between the God of Destruction and Tang San to the First Generation God of Evil, who lent him the Balance of Judgment.
• Ji Dong returned to the Divine Realm Committee and used the balance to question the God of Destruction, who denied fishing souls from the Underworld.
• The balance remained even, confirming that the God of Destruction had not lied and that Tang San had lost the wager.
• The God of Destruction demanded the Asura Sword, and Tang San tried to keep it by arguing that he needed it to protect the Divine Realm.
• After the other God Kings backed the wager, Tang San let the Asura Sword go, and the God of Destruction took possession of it.

Tang San lost the Asura Sword to the God of Destruction in a Divine Realm Committee wager, then blamed Destruction and Ji Dong while recounting the meeting to Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai warned that Xiao Wu might be affected by the sword’s new owner, and Tang San rushed to find her.

• The God of Destruction praised the Asura Sword, claimed it, and left with the Goddess of Life after the wager ended.
• Ji Dong and Lie Yan left for the Five Elements Continent, while Tang San went to meet Dai Mubai.
• Tang San told Dai Mubai that he had failed to obtain Huo Yun'er's soul and accused the God of Destruction and Ji Dong of conspiring against him.
• Dai Mubai worried that Xiao Wu, the Asura Sword Sheath, could be affected now that Destruction possessed the sword.
• Tang San and Dai Mubai set out to find Xiao Wu, and Tang San vowed to make Destruction pay if anything had happened to her.

Dai Mubai told Huo Yuhao that Tang San had lost the Asura Demon Sword and blamed the other God Kings for preventing Huo Yun'er’s soul from returning. Huo Yuhao received a secret letter for Xu Jiujiu from Mingdu, while the God of Destruction began experimenting with the Asura Demon Sword and Xiao Wu sensed something strange.

• At Tang San’s request, Dai Mubai told Huo Yuhao about the Divine Realm Committee meeting and why Huo Yun’er’s soul could not return.
• Huo Yuhao doubted Tang San’s account was unbiased but welcomed the news that Tang San had lost the Asura Demon Sword.
• A Spirit Pagoda member delivered Huo Yuhao a secret letter from Xu Tianzhen to Xu Jiujiu, and Huo Yuhao decided he might return to Mingdu to speak with Xu Tianzhen.
• The God of Destruction infused the Asura Demon Sword with Destruction Divine Power to see whether he could create a move suited to himself.
• Xiao Wu suddenly stopped chatting with Ning Rongrong, saying she felt something strange.

Xiao Wu sensed that the Asura Demon Sword was affecting her, and Tang San discovered that the God of Destruction had been experimenting by channeling Destruction Divine Power into it. Xiao Wu recovered when the God of Destruction stopped, but Tang San confronted him over the danger to her.

• Xiao Wu told Ning Rongrong and Oscar that her strange sensation came from the Asura Demon Sword, and Oscar suggested Tang San might be trying to get her attention.
• Tang San and Dai Mubai arrived, and Tang San recounted the Divine Realm Committee meeting while presenting himself favorably.
• Xiao Wu suddenly became numb and weak, so Tang San caught her and carried her to the God of Destruction's residence.
• The God of Destruction continued testing Destruction Divine Power on the Asura Demon Sword until Tang San demanded that he hand it over.
• Tang San explained that Xiao Wu was the Asura Sword Sheath and could be endangered by the sword's treatment, so the God of Destruction stopped his experiment and Xiao Wu began to recover.

• Tang San warned the God of Destruction that Xiao Wu was suffering, but Destruction refused to surrender the Asura Demon Sword and proposed sealing it with the Four God Kings.
• Tang San objected, but the God of Destruction left to seek the Goddess of Life, Kindness, and Evil.
• Tang San returned with Xiao Wu to the valley, where the Seven Monsters gathered to comfort them and condemn Destruction.
• Xiao Wu and Tang San sensed that the Asura Demon Sword had been sealed, and Tang San lamented that those who contributed most to the God Realm suffered the greatest grievances.
• During a storm in Mingdu, Xu Tianzhen heard Huo Yuhao call to her inside Sun Moon Hall and turned to find him there.

Huo Yuhao confronted Xu Tianzhen over her secret summons of Xu Jiujiu and used his power to force the emperor to reveal her intentions. Xu Tianzhen admitted she wanted Xu Jiujiu to spy on the women around Huo Yuhao, and the chapter ended with him tickling her foot while she argued that she had not interfered with his love life.

• Huo Yuhao challenged Xu Tianzhen about secretly summoning Xu Jiujiu and demanded to know why she had done it.
• Xu Tianzhen claimed she planned to capture and interrogate Huo Yuhao, but he sensed that she was lying and suppressed her Soul Power.
• Huo Yuhao grabbed Xu Tianzhen's foot and tickled her until she confessed that she wanted Xu Jiujiu to watch the women around him and report to her.
• Xu Tianzhen explained that she feared Huo Yuhao would fall for another woman and said she would imprison that woman and make her witness their wedding.
• Huo Yuhao began tickling Xu Tianzhen again, and she insisted that she had only planned to act against other women, not interfere with his feelings.

Huo Yuhao forced Xu Tianzhen to accept regular Soul Tool crafting assessments, while Shrek Academy's elders argued over how to respond to the Sun Moon Army. The meeting ended with Zhang Lexuan's proposal to attack Mingdu opposed by Yan Shaozhe and supported by Xuan Zi.

• Huo Yuhao tickled Xu Tianzhen until she agreed to devote more time to Soul Tool crafting and accept his monthly assessments.
• At Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, Mu En convened Yan Shaozhe, Xuan Zi, and Zhang Lexuan to discuss the Sun Moon Army's advance.
• Yan Shaozhe accused Xuan Zi of causing the deaths of Shrek elders and allied soldiers by fleeing the battlefield, and the two nearly came to blows.
• Mu En stopped the argument and asked Zhang Lexuan to propose a strategy against the Sun Moon Army.
• Zhang Lexuan proposed a surprise attack on Mingdu, Yan Shaozhe argued for restoring Xu Jiawei and reclaiming Star Luo territory, and Xuan Zi backed attacking Mingdu.

Mu En rejected Xuan Zi’s counterattack plan and approved Yan Shaozhe’s, ordering Zhang Lexuan to carry out the resulting strategy. Convinced the decision would doom Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi began considering how to leave the academy despite Mu En’s orders.

• Xuan Zi urged Mu En to approve his plan to draw Sun Moon Army forces away and strike their weakened front, but Mu En favored Yan Shaozhe’s more cautious plan.
• Xuan Zi warned that Yan Shaozhe’s plan might destroy the academy, but Mu En declared his decision final and the meeting continued without Xuan Zi’s input.
• Mu En and the others completed a plan for Zhang Lexuan to expand intelligence gathering, contact Di Tian, search for Sea God Island, and await news of the Clear Sky Sect.
• Mu En ordered Yan Shaozhe to cultivate in seclusion and try to become a Limit Douluo.
• Xuan Zi decided he had to save Shrek Academy and began contemplating a way to leave despite Mu En’s watch.

Xuan Zi left Shrek Academy to pursue his own plan to save it, while Mu En could not stop him. Tang Niu devised a scheme to weaken the Sun Moon Army through the Four Great Clans’ descendants and offered Shrek the Clear Sky Sect’s location as a potential way to draw in enemy experts, but Mu En kept Shrek’s focus on the Star Luo Empire and was left wondering who could lure the experts to the sect.

• Xuan Zi told Mu En he was leaving to save Shrek Academy, then flew away despite Mu En’s objection.
• Tang Niu learned that descendants of the Four Great Clans served in the Sun Moon Army and ordered an attempt to recruit them, with a plan to spread rumors if it failed.
• Tang Niu’s messenger informed Mu En that the Clear Sky Sect’s Mountain Gate was near Heaven Dou City and could be used to lure Sun Moon Experts into an ambush by the sect’s masters.
• Mu En told Zhang Lexuan that Shrek’s focus had to remain on the Star Luo Empire because the Clear Sky Sect could only divert some of the Sun Moon Army’s strength.
• Zhang Lexuan asked who should lure the Sun Moon Experts to the Clear Sky Sect, and Mu En was stumped.

Zhang Lexuan led Shrek Academy’s Inner Courtyard students on a special operation to lure Sun Moon Experts away, while Mu En kept Wang Dong behind for her safety and to prevent her from discovering the plan. The group departed with Soul Tools, and Wang Dong began cultivating at the Sea God Pavilion.

• Zhang Lexuan volunteered to lead Inner Courtyard students in luring Sun Moon Experts, and Mu En reluctantly entrusted the mission to her while ordering her to keep Wang Dong uninformed.
• Zhang Lexuan gathered every Inner Courtyard student except Wang Dong and explained the dangers of the Shrek Special Operation.
• All the gathered students agreed to join, and Zhang Lexuan led them away with Soul Tools to carry out the operation.
• Mu En told Wang Dong to cultivate at the Sea God Pavilion, and she agreed despite being puzzled.

Zhang Lexuan led Shrek’s special-operation team through the Dou Ling Empire toward Heaven Dou City, while Huo Yuhao learned of their mission and prepared to attack them. After warning Ju Zi about Shrek’s plans, he set out to find Zhang Lexuan’s group, which had just entered the Dou Ling Empire.

• Zhang Lexuan led the inner court students on a detour through the Dou Ling Empire to reach Heaven Dou City without drawing the Sun Moon Experts toward them too soon.
• Xiao Xiao asked Han Ruoruo about the mission and Wang Dong’s absence, and Zhang Lexuan reassured the team that Wang Dong was with Mu En.

• Zhang Lexuan’s team entered the Dou Ling Empire at dusk, and she ordered everyone to keep flying until nightfall.

Zhang Lexuan’s group rested in a forest and debated who might become the next Limit Douluo. Zhang Lexuan named Huo Yuhao, then revealed a plan to lead him somewhere he could be imprisoned, but a voice exposed their destination as the Clear Sky Sect’s mountain gate.

• Zhang Lexuan’s group camped by a stream and discussed the candidates for the next Limit Douluo.
• Xiao Xiao, Ma Xiaotao, and Han Ruoruo argued over whether Elder Xuan, Dean Yan, Du Busi, or Kong Deming was most likely to advance.
• Zhang Lexuan said Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary talent made him the likeliest next Limit Douluo, despite his young age and current Titled Douluo cultivation.
• Zhang Lexuan said the group’s Shrek Special Operation might lead Huo Yuhao to a place where he could be imprisoned before advancing further.
• When Xiao Xiao asked where they were going, a man’s voice revealed that Zhang Lexuan meant the Clear Sky Sect’s mountain gate.

Huo Yuhao ambushed Zhang Lexuan and the Shrek students, and Zhang Lexuan chose to surrender to spare them from a hopeless fight. Back at Shrek Academy, Mu En learned of their capture and arranged to inform the Clear Sky Sect, whose First Elder blamed Shrek for the failed mission.

• Huo Yuhao appeared above Zhang Lexuan's group and demanded their surrender, warning that they could not defeat him.

Tang Niu planned to rally the Clear Sky Sect elders against the Sun Moon Empire, while Ning Tian passed her Rank 3 Soul Engineer examination and invited Huo Yuhao to the Mingdu Auction. Their outing was interrupted when Meng Hongchen confronted them, and Ning Tian answered before Huo Yuhao could speak.

• Ning Tian showed Huo Yuhao her soul tool and invited him to the Mingdu Auction, and he agreed.
• Meng Hongchen stopped Huo Yuhao and asked what he was doing, but Ning Tian answered for him, irritating Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen told Huo Yuhao that the Mingdu Auction’s finale item was a Thunderous Hell Vine, prompting him to head there with her and Ning Tian. On the way, the Plane Consciousness confirmed that the Thunder God Corpse existed on Douluo Star but was protected by arrangements Tang San had made.

• Meng Hongchen invited Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao to attend the Mingdu Auction with her and revealed that its finale item concerned the Thunderous Hell Vine.
• Huo Yuhao eagerly agreed to go after hearing about the Thunderous Hell Vine, a rare plant soul beast linked by legend to the Thunder God.
• Ning Tian and Wu Feng put on masks as the group traveled toward the auction to conceal their identities.
• Huo Yuhao asked the Plane Consciousness whether the Thunderous Hell Vine was truly connected to the Thunder God, and it confirmed the legend and his suspicion that the vine could lead to the Thunder God Corpse.
• The Plane Consciousness told Huo Yuhao that Tang San had arranged protections around the Thunder God Corpse and that the Plane Lord suppressed the Thunderous Hell Vine’s growth.

Huo Yuhao learned that Tang San had spread a false rumor about the Thunderous Hell Vine to protect his plans for restoring the Thunder God Godhood and passing it to his descendants. At the Mingdu Auction, Huo Yuhao’s arrival prompted Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan to abandon his indifference and hurry to greet him.

• The Plane Consciousness told Huo Yuhao that the Thunderous Hell Vine died at fifty thousand years because it lacked life energy, and that Tang San had invented the suppression rumor to protect his scheme involving its Essence Blood and the Thunder God Corpse.
• Huo Yuhao sent a spiritual body to continue discussing the Thunder God Corpse with the Plane Consciousness while his main body went to the auction with Meng Hongchen and the others.
• In the God Realm, Tang San confirmed that Thunderous Hell Vine Essence Blood nourished the Thunder God Corpse and could repair its damaged Godhood, which he hoped to pass to a Tang Family descendant.
• Huo Yuhao and his group entered the Mingdu Auction and went to Number One Heavenly Room, where the crowd recognized and celebrated him.
• Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan dismissed the steward’s concern about Meng Hongchen’s arrival, then hurried to greet Huo Yuhao when he learned the Prime Minister was with her.

Huo Yuhao attended the Mingdu Auction and obtained a map showing where Thunderous Hell Vines grew. Meanwhile, his spiritual avatar learned that the Thunder God Corpse was hidden in a sealed Demiplane, leaving him considering how to obtain Wang Dong's Essence Blood to open it.

• Ning Tian offered to ask her father to help Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao declined, saying the matter ran too deep for him to handle.
• Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar learned that the Thunder God Corpse was in a Demiplane whose seal required a Tang Family member's Essence Blood, and he considered getting some from Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao planned to obtain Wang Dong’s Essence Blood through a fight with Tang Ya, while his spiritual incarnation offered to cure Tang Ya’s Evil Poison in exchange for her help. Tang Ya hesitated, then asked what he wanted her to do.

• Huo Yuhao decided to ask Tang Ya to extract some of Wang Dong’s Essence Blood during a battle and summoned Electrolux.
